Kami Tanto

Gift of Kami Tanto

A tribute forged to the guardian spirits

The Hanwei Kami Tanto is a masterpiece of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Hand-forged from K120C powder-coated steel , this piece pays homage to the kami , the protective spirits of Shinto, represented in its reliefs with solemnity and respect.

The leaf: balance between strength and beauty

The folded blade features an engraved Fudo Horimono and a bo-hi that lightens the structure without compromising its integrity. The folding process reveals a unique surface grain (hada) and a pronounced hamon , symbols of a refined and functional temper.

Details that elevate art

The tsuka is covered with the highest quality ray skin , while the sageo is woven from genuine Japanese silk . The fuchi depicts the kami in elaborate relief, accompanied by copper, silver, and gold details . The two-piece habaki blends copper and gilded brass , lending elegance and strength to the ensemble.

The skirt: expression of solemnity

The saya is painted deep red with a black section near the mouth that resembles a curly tsuka-maki . All the hardware— kojiri, koiguchi, and kurigata —is made of blackened bronze , harmoniously integrating the aesthetic.
